I own Proac D-40r speakers and based on my experience I think the Nagra amps would work with the Proac speakers, but would not drive them to high volume. I had Quicksilver V-4 amps and while great did not have the bass grip I wanted. If you listen at moderate volume they should sound great. If you want to play a lot of rock and symphonic music at fairly high volume levels, they may not be the perfect choice. That said I have not heard the Nagra amps so take my comments on power and tube amps in general as my opinions and best guess.
Nagra electronics with Proac D40r
Hello all!
First time poster, but long long LONG time follower at the forums... Thank you all for the breadth of your knowledge!
Recently I have come across the opportunity to buy a demo Nagra Pl-l preamp paired with the vpa monoblocks.
I'm worried about the ability to drive my d40R's (nominal impedance 4 ohms), especially in terms of the bass.
Room is about 14'x18' . And to some extent I would have to get them sight unseen. Seller commits to take them back if there is some defect, but no synergy between components is not really a defect, hence my asking here...
What are people's opinions on the Nagra's ability to drive the proacs?
Thanks in advance for your response!
